This study situates Temminck's activities in the context of European natural history during the early to the mid-nineteenth century. Three issues which defined the era are discussed in more detail: the growing European colonial territories, the rise of scientific meritocracy, and the emergence of systematics as a discipline. Temminck's biography elucidates how and why systematics developed, and why its status within the natural sciences has been a matter of discussion for more than a century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eulàlia Gassó Miracle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004419179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004419179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Eulàlia Gassó Miracle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945106145535,"sku":"9789004419179","price":156.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c95567d1-c84d-4fb9-9644-30dc1ed9003d.jpg?v=1681506818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coenraad-jacob-temminck-and-the-eullia-gass-miracle-9789004419179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
